Sonnet: Men Collude In Sin

Some mortal sins are of convenience, Like adultery, murder and false-witness Between two individuals or more; hence People commit them without harness. The devils link the minds amongst sinners, To sign a pact of mutual sinful ‘joy’; And soon turn out to be real winners, While sinful souls imagine they enjoy! The bond grows stronger with the passing time; The sinful habit turns now addiction; The partners sin in almost any clime; Until the devils bring on them affliction. But lo! Tis late for remorse, repentance; ’Tis time for God to pronounce His sentence. 5-31-2002 by John Celes
